Description

Walcot Church House is a church house or vicarage built in the early to mid 18th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century. The building features a limestone ashlar facade, while the left wing is likely from the 19th century and constructed of rubblestone with freestone dressing. It has a steeply pitched double Roman tile mansard roof with moulded stacks at the coped gable ends.

The structure has a three-unit plan with a left wing and stands two storeys tall, presenting a symmetrical three-window range on the front. It is adorned with a coped parapet, a coved cornice, and a ground floor platband on the front, left side, and rear. Blind windows flank a plate glass sash window at the centre of the first floor, which is topped by a hood on brackets, above a five-panel door. The three-storey rear has some six-over-six pane and plate glass sash windows, along with a 20th-century door at the centre of the lower ground floor. The left return features a hipped slate roof over a two-storey canted wing, which has one horned six-over-six pane sash window on each floor.

The church of St Swithin, associated with this building, has been rebuilt several times, but a church designed by Robert Smith was completed in 1742, suggesting that the church house may date from that period. The building originally had two storeys and three windows, with the outer windows now blocked, and a doorway with a flat hood on brackets.
